Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Universally preferable behaviour
A tag has been placed on Universally preferable behaviour, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Personal attacks at Talk:Bitcoin
Hello there Rudd-O. I just chanced across this edit of yours, and I was actually shocked. No matter what provocation you may have had, comments like these are completely unacceptable. If you feel that you are not making any progress in talk page discussions then you should request outside intervention - I recommend WP:DRN as a good starting point. What you should not do is resort to personal attacks against other editors. (See our policy Wikipedia:No personal attacks.) Please consider this your only warning - if you make further personal attacks of this nature I will block you for a length of time at my discretion. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the policies and guidelines involved. Regards — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 09:58, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
- p.s. I highly recommend that you strike the personal attacks that you have already made on Talk:Bitcoin (with
<s></s>), or simply remove them altogether. That would go a long way toward showing that you are willing to contribute to the discussion in a constructive way. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 10:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC) - Thanks for the link to a mechanism to resolve the dispute. I'm frankly worn out from this futile effort that I've made -- as I'm sure you were able to perceive -- and I honestly don't feel like pursuing this matter further. The impression SudoGhost has left in me and many others about Wikipedians is pretty poor -- I won't be contributing or donating to Wikipedia any more. Let the Bitcoin article keep the lie.
Bitcoin as a Ponzi Scheme
Hi there. Please be advised proposals are being solicited for replacement text for the discussion you entered at Talk:Bitcoin#Fundamentals. prat (talk) 23:24, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Highest-valued currency unit that didn't seem very civil, so I removed it. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 08:32, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Only warning. If I see you make an edit like this one to the Highest-valued currency unit article or any other article, I will block you without any further notice. Just so it's clear, I am referring to the internal comment you inserted into the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Bitcoin edits
Please add citations to your recent revert on Bitcoin. I really don't know enough about Bitcoins to know if transactions fees are levied currently or will be levied in the future. If it's true, it should be easy to cite it. Please do. Fleetham (talk) 03:20, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry to patronize, but please don't add uncited material to cited sentences unless you know that the material already exists in the preexisting citation or unless you add a new citation. (Just add the citation immediately after the new material, e.g. if the original sentence was "Bob sold Bitcoins[1]" and you changed it to "Bob sold 400 Bitcoins[1]", you need to add a new citation like this: "Bob sold 400[2] Bitcoins[1].")
